If you're tired of the same old soups, it may be time to branch out and look for recipes from a different part of the world. For example, have you ever tried making pepper soup, a spicy comfort food from Nigeria? If not, now is the time. Food blogger and cookbook author of "Hibiscus," Lopè Ariyo, can help. Her version includes crab meat and yams, along with grains of selim, also called uda pods. These smokey, peppery seeds have hints of nutmeg and honeysuckle, providing a robust, fragrant twist to the traditional recipe. Just make sure you don't remove them from the pod: when cooking with grains of selim, everything goes in the pot, pods and all, as if you were adding whole cloves of garlic you intended to remove later on. To use this ingredient, toast it briefly in a pan alongside the other spices common for pepper soup: crushed cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cumin seeds. Sauté some onion and Scotch bonnet peppers in coconut oil before adding the yam and the crushed spices. Stir in shrimp paste and broth and cook until the yams have fully softened. Serve hot with crab meat.
For options beyond shellfish and sweet potato, Ariyo also suggests working the uda pods into a spicy, offal-filled soup of tripe and goat meat (via The Guardian). Cooked in fish broth, the suya-uda pod soup is gamey, musky, and rich in umami. Grains of selim and uda pods are widely used in West Africa, especially in Café Touba coffee, a Senegalese drink prepared with the small seeds of a shrubby African tree.
